This week, in Abby’s world…

It’s been far too long since we have had a random bullet list on here. SO, lets look at our world through Abby’s eyes. God help us all….

• At a play date with Abby’s best friend from dance class, a somewhat violent older child on the playground decided to out and out punch a toddler. Abby said “Ummmmm, we only have NICE hands. Do I NEED to find a time-out area for you?” One would think this comment was directed at said older child. Nope. Older child’s mom.

• At a nice and fancy dinner in a nice and fancy restaurant with our nice little family….

Abby (in her outside voice): Mommy?

Me: yes, sweetie?

Abby: WHY does God give you a period to let you know that you do not have a baby in your tummy? Can He     not   just send flowers or chocolate?

• While “teaching” my mom to play cards, battle to be exact, Abby pulled a 3 and Mom a 6. Frustrated at not winning that singular hand, Abby decides to explain to her NaNa that ” I still win because you are OLD and I am YOUNG. You can’t take it with you, NaNa.”

• At church this Sunday, the kiddie moment included thoughts on envy. The example was : if your brother has a piece of cake, is it OK to want it?  On the way home, Abby looked somewhat bothered and confused. I asked if she was okay. She looked at    me   through the rear view mirror and with the greatest conviction said that she was pretty sure that it was ALWAYS fine to want cake.

While we love our princess more than air… I find myself praying for her future husband.

Have a glorious week!
